The BugCheck 116 indicates a problem with the video driver, which is also referenced as being caused by atikmdag.sys. I recommend first updating to the latest driver and uninstalling the CCC (Catalyst Control Center) if you have that installed. If that doesn't help then your video adapter may be failing. Let me know what the solution turns out to be. Scott.

I've uninstalled the Catalyst Control Center. I've come across this page. What should I download? Keep in mind that I have an ATI Radeon HD 5450 adapter.

Normally you would want the latest stable driver that supports your adapter. However in this case I see they have a beta version available that according to the Release Notes fixes at least one problem specifically related to your adapter. In this case I'd install the beta version, then update again when it is finally officially released. Scott.

Scott, I've reformatted my SSHD and reinstalled Windows 7 Professional on it. Is a good alternative to the Cataylst Control Center available for scaling purposes? Keep in mind that I have an MSI 760GM-P33 motherboard as well as an HD 5450 video card.

I will say again that I only recommend installing the drivers. A lot of other unnecessary software can cause problems. Scott.

What would be a good piece of software that would make my entire screen be filled? I brought up scaling because of the concern.

I have this Samsung monitor, and the desktop resolution is currently set to be equal to the monitor's native resolution (1920 x 1080). Unfortunately, the entire screen isn't filled at the present time.

That could indicate a problem with the monitor, driver or possibly even the video card. It could also be caused by improperly functioning scaling software that may be installed. Scott.

There is currently no scaling software installed. I have thought about using the Catalyst Control Center to fill the screen, but then uninstalling the CCC shortly afterwards.
